Abstract

The aim pursued by this Agreement is to improve, by concerted action between the two Contracting Parties, the supply of water to the Commune of Menton. For the achievement of such purpose, the Italian Government undertakes to authorize the withdrawal of water from the Roya so as to supply the Commune of Menton, at a maximum flow rate of 400 litres per second. The Italian Government shall also guarantee the free passage of such water into France. Water supply from the Roya may be nevertheless reduced, according to article 1, paragraph 2. In order to apply this Convention, the Italian Government shall grant the Commune of Menton a concession to be governed by the Italian laws and regulations in force. Article 3 describes the method intended for the withdrawal of water. A plan for the execution of works shall constitute the basis for granting the concession. Such plan shall be drawn up in accordance with article 4. The construction of the facilities and the acquisition of the land necessary for the construction and the operation of the facilities shall be undertaken by the Commune of Menton, at its expense and in compliance with the provisions set out in the above-mentioned article 4. Article 7 regards the contracts for the execution of the works. The construction, maintenance and operation works shall be subject to supervision by the competent Italian authorities, which may freely inspect the installations. In case dispute between the Contracting Parties related to the interpretation and application of the Agreement, it shall be submitted for arbitration at the request of either Party (art. 13).
